July 13th Travel day to Jackson Center, Ohio


We hooked up and hit the road at 8:00am leaving Pennwood to head to Jackson Center, Ohio and the Airstream factory. We traveled mostly on rural routes so that we could view the pretty farms and small towns. After a 7 hour run we arrived and pulled into the Terraport (camping area) at the factory. I'm pretty sure I heard angels singing faintly in the background - our Airstream had returned to the Mother Ship and all was well with the world.

While we were registering to secure a site in the Terraport I met a gal and her three dogs who were waiting for her husband to complete the factory tour. We got to talking and we found out that we were parked next to each other for the evening! Cathy and Scott are newbie Airstream owners who have a 27' front bedroom and belong to one of the WBCCI Pennsylvania Units. We hit it off and enjoyed Happy Hour together under one of the large trees in the Terraport. A bit later we held a flag raising ceremony at their rig as they had just purchased a 3 place flag holder setup at the WBCCI Headquarters which is located right here in town. We ended the day by walking the grounds looking at all the vintage rigs on display and at the rigs waiting for service. We were disappointed that Wally's "golden trailer" was no where in sight. I'll ask our tour guide about it.....
